- the two last tracks on Floating Points's latest album, [_Cascade_](https://floatingpoints.bandcamp.com/album/cascade).
|
||
|
|
they form a continuous mix, so I always talk about them as one.

|
- these are my single highlight of the album.
|
||
|
|
amidst the pumping beats, floral patterns, and fractal palaces, you find these melancholic little gems...

- listening to _Tilt Shift_, I see visions of traffic in a city at night.
|
||
|
|
streaks of light travelling along the streets, illuminated by lanterns and buildings around.

- as the sound distorts, the light streaks become more smudged, shifted.

- it's as if the whole city is responding to a call to dance with the track.

- looking at the calming waves, listening to the sound of the water.
|
||
|
|
far from the city centre, just pondering, taking a pause...

- as you imagine sky lanterns flying high.

in various shapes.

- I imagine it would be fun to make a music video from at-night Tokyo footage for these two tracks.

|
- it honestly saddens me to know most people will never hear these.
|
||
|
|
they were barely promoted, with no music videos to speak of...
|
||
|
|
honestly, I'm not even sure they fit the album they were born into.

- but they will forever remain my two little underrated Floating Points gems.
